1. The space character (unicode no. 0020) has been replaced with the middot character (unicode no. 00B7, the character used in Microsoft Word for displaying spaces when the option “Tools/Options/View/Formatting marks/Spaces” or “…/Formatting marks/All” is checked).

2. The non-breaking space character (unicode no. 00A0) has been replaced with the degree character (unicode no. 00B0, the character used in Microsoft Word for displaying non-breaking spaces when the option “Tools/Options/View/Formatting marks/Spaces” or “…/Formatting marks/All” is checked).

N.B. Both the dot in the space character and the degree sign in the non-breaking space character are placed lower than the original middot and degree signs to facilitate differentiation between them.

When Mac or UNIX files are converted into Windows files, those paragraph markers act funny. They look like proper paragraph markers, but are not. You can search for the ASCII 13 or 10 character and see, what you actually got in your file.

To find a carriage return, type ^013 inside the find box; to find a new line, type ^010. Replace them with normal paragraph marks.
